Language of Intercession: ARTICULE/DAZIBAO/OBORO

by James L. Gillespie

Canadian Art, Summer2005, v. 22, no. 2, pp. 98-99

Review of a Montreal exhibition held simultaneously in three different galleries. "These are interventions into a tableau of cultural stereotypes that denotes First Nations and Métis people as subaltern and places their identity and cultural achievements in the past. This exhibition shows how artists working in emergent media are approaching inherited cultural landscapes with intelligence, feeling and a generosity of spirit that is relevant to all liminal communities."
